Yeah, I've heard good reviews about the Falkens too, and I've driven on them in an STi and they are nice. The Toyos....I've really only heard good reviews from the G35 crowd. I've seen mixed/bad reviews elsewhere. That said, I wouldn't not consider them for my next set...
I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in those same sizes and they have been very solid on the street and they held up very respectably at the track. They are a little pricey but well worth it IMHO.

Oh, yah and the subject at hand. I've had PS2's on for the last year. I can't say I've pushed them to their limits but I do enjoy taking my turns. I think they're gonna last me another year. Good street tires if you want something that lasts.

I'm going with the RE01Rs for my next set, 245F and 275R.
Currently I'm just finishing up my stock RE050As and they are showing severe wear at 18k miles, one track day, and 19 AutoX events. For street tires I though they kick @S$ (when 70F+ outside). But now thats it's dropped to about 50 degrees here in the NorthEast I'm having serious problems both on track and road (NewEngland drivers are @ssh0les and my breaking distance has lengthened because of the cool weather
).

I also have the GS-D3s and they are basically shot after about 2000 road miles and 2 track days. The first day I ran about 40 psi but the second track day I ran about 34 so that's when the damage likely occured. There is a severe cup approx, 6 inches wide, running the outer 1/3 of the tread (whole circumference) , down to the wear bar. Bummer. Even 2 track days a year, I'd run track-only tires. That's what I plan on doing - or get off the pot and buy a race car.
